Publisher's Synopsis
For all parents who desire to raise a generation of kids with strong hearts.
Parenting. It's the most important endeavor of our lives. And there's no shortage of advice on how to raise kids. But amidst the chatter of competing voices, how do we sort the folly from the wisdom? In StrongHeart, author Jill Rigby Garner cuts through modern parenting myths and trends to deliver the bold truth about what it will take to raise the next generation. Jill provides evidence-based solutions for parents seeking to raise children of character who can overcome-rather than succumb to-a culture full of turmoil.
Jill focuses on the education of the heart as she shows parents how to:
- Champion self-respect rather than self-esteem
- Replace happiness with deep, lasting joy
- Instill a heart of gratitude that stifles innate selfishness
- Develop GRIT (Guts, Resilience, Integrity, and Tenacity)
- Engrave other-centeredness on kids' hearts. . . and more
More than ever parents feel burdened to raise kids who are brave, resilient, and kind. This book enables us to see beneath the surface of our children's struggles to the heart attitudes that determine kids' thoughts and actions. This is an essential resource for parents, grandparents, and anyone who has a heart for cultivating in children a StrongHeart.
